Friday, April 25, 2014

It is finally Friday and I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that in a week it will be May. The year is flying by. I always think of May as the dividing line in the year. Prior to May it is still that winter/spring combo that kind of melds together because you never know if you are going to have a cold or hot day. When May comes though, it means summer and the joy that comes with leaving work early on Fridays or ditching it if you can and that good feeling lasts until September when you start thinking about football and then the holidays. I guess I am a second half of the year guy. Anyway, I will be blogging all weekend and if you would like to follow me on Twitter I am @entylawyer

Our actress used to be A list. You could make a very good argument that she was A+ list at one time. When people were talking female leads for movies she was always in the conversation. That kind of all changed. It wasn't just that she angered almost every person who worked with her, it was that she stopped sleeping with the directors and producers that got her those parts in the first place. When she reached that almost A+ list status she thought she didn't need to do that any longer. She probably would have been right, but, because of the way she treated people, her career dried up quickly. No one was going to just give her a break. There were plenty of others out there who had talent and were a lot easier to work with.

She found a husband and he put up with her because he was gone so much of the time. When her career nose dived our actress started popping pills. She got hooked after one of her many surgeries and hasn't stopped since. If you catch her on a day when she is taking the right combination you get a dazed looking person who at least won't yell at you. If you catch her though on a day where she is taking the wrong combination she becomes the biggest pain on the planet and you will wish you stayed in bed that day. She has no friends other than those she pays. Her husband is grateful each day that she is no longer in his life. She keeps trying to resuscitate her career but no one wants to give her a role. No one wants to work with her. So, she keeps filming parts in low budget movies and keeps popping those pills.

I just went to Melanie Griffith's IMDB and looks like she's been doing some TV but there appears to be some low budget never seen the theater sort of stuff in there. PLUS she's had some chatter around her pill consumption before.

Violet - Swank isn't married but did split with an agent/boyfriend of several years. Certainly in lower budget pictures these days albeit not yet direct to video. I'm kind of surprised that Million Dollar Baby was a decade ago and I don't recognize a single film title, much less hit, since then. It would appear that the power players aren't casting her anymore.

There are a couple duds she has had out since 2012, definitely not pulling in the same roles. Which is especially weird when you think about who the fuck she is married to. The Family Douglas have had a shitload of pull for a long time now.

I'm going with Tara17. Ashley Judd. Not Sharon Stone because she's divorced long ago, not CZJ because they're back together and I don't think she's doing low budget. And it doesn't say Oscar winner/nominee. Same with Michelle Pfeiffer. She was A+, I don't think she's known as difficult, and she was huge in lots of movies for a while. And she looks amazing- not lots of plastic surgery. So, maybe also we're back to Melanie but I don't think she's known for being difficult plus she's still with husband. But I don't know how Judd could consider a run for office if addicted to pills.

It bugs me that so many pill addictions are blamed on the "ZOMG I had ONE prescription, and I was hooked FOREVA!"

Maybe it does happen that way a small percentage of the time. But I have had the 'pleasure' of knowing a lot of pill addicts and that ain't exactly the way it went down.

More like they were drinkers and imbibers of other drugs already, and asked others for some of their scripts to get high. They liked it enough to bamboozle some doctors. They learned (from other addicts) to crush the pills and snort, smoke or inject them, which was always contrary to what not only the doctor said, it was on the damned bottle and leaflet every SINGLE time. You can't tell me they crushed them and snorted them because the doctor or pharmaceutical industry fooled them into thinking it would be okay. Please.

The net effect of this is people like my 85 year old grandmother (with multiple serious medical problems known to cause excruciating pain) gets treated like a drug addict when she goes to the doctor, despite the fact that she would NEVER deviate from her medication instructions, not even once. And her doctor warns her that freaking vicodin is as addicting as heroin at every visit.

So while I do have compassion for addicts, and have donated a large portion of my time and money to help, I'm really tired of the bullshit "one surgery" excuse. It's not credible, and it's hurting chronic pain patients to the degree that there have been suicides because they can no longer get relief due to no fault of their own.

It must be Ashley.From 2004 to now, she's be in a number of movies & one TV series.Three of the movies were relatively major productions, with "Divergent" still to come out in a few weeks.The rest are all low budget junk.Add to that is that almost everyone has exactly the same thoughts about her: She beautiful & she's batshit crazy!

Not a fan of Ashley Judd's by any means, but she is hardly an untalented actress. Maybe she is just one of those types that need a REALLY good director to bring out a performance. Jlo is the same. She's okay, but she can be great depending on who is directing her. Meryl Streep of course can act no matter who is directing, but even she needs a great director to get those Oscar caliber performances.

You might be right that Ashley was never a legit A+ but for a summer it sure seemed like she was. She had the two back to back hits with the biggest names plus all of the magazine covers and features that went with that even if it was short-lived. At the time she was gorgeous and I remember watching movies and buying magazines just because she was in them. I recall the buzz about her connection with Sherry Lansing. She assumed she would reconcile with her husband and put it in the press prematurely.

Ashley likes to say that the UK basketball coach, John Calipari, calls her all the time. My question is why would he call her? Either for money? Not for basketball tips I'm sure. Maybe she "entertains" the recruits?

She also wants people to think she is a super Mensa intellect. Me thinks when you try to hard, you don't have it.

I know people who went to school with her. Neglected abused children who don't get help can result in really unhappy adults without coping skills. Might be the case here.

And Dario, just file, pay her and call it a divorce. Your relief will be your reward.

You guys are so funny. I took down the info because it was mostly from sources on another site and even though that site is just as public as CDAN? I felt somehow like I was betraying confidences by posting it here.
